QUESTION

Does anyone know what Pwnd means?  i've seen it on several sites, blogs, video fail blog sites. when i read Pwnd, it makes me think of Pawned, which well means you take something to a pawn shop in exchange for money.  so when there is a photo of a guy falling off a skate board and the caption reads "guy gets Pwnd by a skateboard..." does that mean that the skateboard took him to a pawn shop in exchange for new tires, cash, board?  what does that word mean? if it means owned, then how did the "p" make its way in there.  and is it a silent "p"?  or a is it pronounced "p-w-a-n-u-d"?
